Full description and what we offer
Shark Coast Tactical operates out of Sarasota with a straightforward mission: stock everything a shooter actually needs and handle the details without the bullshit. They carry firearms, ammo, optics, suppressors, night vision, thermals, body armor, and accessories across 40+ authorized brands.
In-house gunsmithing means custom builds, modifications, and repairs happen on-site. Their Shark Coast Signature Guns line includes suppressed pistol kits and specialty builds like the "Shark Puppy" and "HUX Puppy" platforms for G43X pistols. They specialize in Staccato 2011s with their own +3 magazine extensions, custom Glock builds, and AR pistols.
NFA items—suppressors especially—get handled through a simplified process. No shipping hassles or third-party transfers. Walk in, buy it, and they take care of the paperwork.

"The most knowledgeable and helpful team I've dealt with at a gun shop. Never misleading and always willing to work with you any way they can. I travel 2½ hours and pass 50+ other shops." — Bart Shollar
Customers consistently mention Will Kesterson and the crew's willingness to solve problems. One customer's optic had issues? They swapped it without making him deal with manufacturer shipping. Missing screws? Sent overnight.
